Interesting review, although the purpose of the forum is to post reviews, not links. I don't find the IF comparisons ir relation to their past albums very valid though. To my ears, IF has never sounded much similar to DT at all, certainly not more than some other melo-death bands (shared history and similar discography aside). With DD I can see the comparison, this being their first album that I can honestly call melo-death. Then again, with R2R the corresponding IF album, their differences are increasing...
I don't understand people who criticize bands for "happy" melodies, there are good, and not-good songs, whether or not they are happy.
